Aihe: "Mariwiri" from Guyana (Luettu 9320 kertaa)

One of the three chile varieties from Guyana growing here needs some introduction. It is an attractive C. chinense with round fruits like small cherries on a low spreading plant with small leaves. I think it's potentially one of the most ornamental chiles:

The original collector's records called it "Marawiri", which remained a bit of a mystery, but I read that "meri wiri" or "mari wiri" are used in Guyana for the variety (or varieties) also called "wiri wiri". However, this variety seems closer to plants called "Bod'e" than "wiri-wiri", or at least than to the one "wiri-wiri" variety I now have from a different source.
